Glad you found your pin cushion. I have a ton of bone china cups & saucers, all gifts. Excellent way to use them. Better than them just sitting in the china cabinet. They will make excellent gifts. Looking forward to your tute.

Did you glue it on, or leave it free so it could be laundered, as needed?

This morning I was getting ready to go to with DH to a flea market about an hour and half away. I picked up a bag of knitting and there was the pincushion in the bottom of the bag under some baby caps. I had decided that it had run away for ever but it came home. I had had a make-up quilting class on Thursday afternoon after my knitting class on Thursday morning. I had put the pincushion in the knitting bag when I took it from the car. I just didn't remember that I had taken it on Thursday! I would have found it next week when I got ready for the knitting class. Being an obsessive compulsive personality, I can't just ride in a car. I have to do something with my hands. The blue cup normally sits on my desk by my bed. The gold/white cup stays on the cutting table, and the pink on lives by the sewing machine.
those are really cute. I have a few dainty cup/saucer sets that are too small for the folks I know. Would make wonderful pin cushions.
Like I need another project--------------right this minute I've got tissue covers and casserole carriers on my sewing table---------and I'm on here!

I glued the doily between the cup and saucer. Never thought about leaving it free to be laundered. Now I have yucky thoughts of the doily being dusty! I'll have to take a look.

Lovely tea cup pin cushions. I am so glad you found the missing one. I will look forward to the tute....What section will you place it in? I ave some old demi-tasse cups and saucersthat were my moms, but of course there is a cup or two missing in each set, I'm sure they were broken or cracked years ago. I think these would make wonderful little friendship gifts. Thanks for sharing.
